Sheena Douglass Crafters Academy | IsoInk5 - When Watercolour Meets Pyrography @SheenaDouglass2021 | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Following on from sharing some wood burning (Pyrography) in the last demo video, in this session I want to introduce some watercolours.
The watercolours I'm using are: Faber Castell
I have previously drawn on to pine slices using my Razor Tip pyrography machine, having pre-stamped my image using a very light coloured 'Distress Ink' (Pumice Stone). Make a colour palette on card using the watercolour pencils and add water to the colour as you pick it up from the card. Dry the colour on the wood using a craft heat-gun as you progress through each colour. The colour choices are of course yours; Just play!
Regarding the background, I use a 'wet in to wet technique as I Ould colouring an image on watercolour card; the process is essentially the same. Dry with a heat-gun.
Once you have finished colouring the burnt image, consider using watered down 'Gouache' as your highlight if you think the image needs it in places.
Finally wax the dry finished image using a good quality wax. I use Briwax 'clear' Apply 3-4 layers to make a hardened and glossy finish to your artwork
Enjoy
